LONDON, April 5
The libel case against the Marquis of Queensberry finished to-day, a verdict of not guilty being returned. The jury considered that the
charges made by the Marquis of Queensberry were of public benefit. Wilde's counsel withdrew from the case and Wilde himself left the Court, while his
counsel was explaining that plaintiff's literature, and letters justified the plea of the defence, and that Wilde posed as an immoral person. He explained
the reason he withdrew from the case was so as to avoid the appalling evidence which would be adduced. The verdict was received with loud cheers. It is
expected that Wilde will be arrested, but no warrant has yet been applied for. The counsel for the Marquis of Queensberry has sent the public prosecutor
the statements or the witnesses, and notes on the evidence in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
